#TwinBill — #Royals, Rangers honor Ventura. Carpenter homers for #STLCards

February 25, 2017 By Bill Pollock

Prior to the start of their Cactus League opener, the Royals and Texas Rangers paid tribute to Yordano Ventura.

Surprise city official Wayne Turner presented a plaque to Royals manager Ned Yost in honor of Ventura. The plaque will permanently remain on a stadium wall.

Salvador Perez had a double and homer, and drove in four runs in the Royals’ 7-5 victory over the Rangers.

Perez said, “I just got lucky.”

In Florida, new leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler drew two walks and scored twice.  Matt Carpenter batting third, hit a homer and drove in three runs in the Cardinals 8-7 loss to the Miami Marlins.

“The way we manufactured that run in the first inning was key,” Fowler said. “If we can do that, we’ll win a lot of games.”
